As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he’ll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.

Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the badass half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.

Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn’t sure who he’ll be when he comes out the other side.

Their loveable heat flew off the pages

I've got to admit that I fell in love with this gorgeous cover long before I could read the book, I couldn't wait to start reading the book, the first from the brand new series.
Rick and Desiree had me hooked from the start, as soon as they had their first flirty meeting, it was unexpected to them yet so well timed, as fate began to play a massive part in their lives. There were so many laugh out loud moments, including that one, throughout this story, their flirty banter and teasing was infectious. Reading Bayside Desires had me smiling and laughing throughout.
Both were in the Cape temporarily, neither looking for romance. Desiree had received an urgent SOS from her distant mother having her believe she needed her straight away. Luckily she is a teacher in the holiday season, so packed her bags without hesitation, only to find that once she had arrived she had been tricked into looking after her grandmothers house and mothers business, along with her sister who she hadn't seen in a long time, while her mother scurried off on her travels. What began as an incredibly inconvenient situation, especially awkward between the two sisters, moved to being an incredible turn of events for all.
I escaped so easily into this story, you could feel the emotion when the you needed to feel it due to the writing style of the author, you also had the fun, craziness and heat all rolled into one, with chapter 8 being my favorite! I loved Rick and Desiree's story so much. Their loveable heat flew off the pages and slipped easily into the readers mind. Their chemistry was undeniable, simply gorgeous, they had such a wonderful relationship that it had you begging for more when you finished. I really enjoyed following the sisters as they re-connected and the hilarious situations they found themselves in. I loved all the new characters and how they welcomed the two sisters into their lives with open arms. Of course we can't forget about Cosmos for his cupid moments!
A beautiful perfect ending and I cannot wait for more!

BAYSIDE DESIRES BY Melissa Foster

Well well Melissa you have done it again. I am all in with the Bayside friends. Can't wait to read all about each one as they fall in love. Rick and Desiree were so much fun with her serious and conservative side and his live for today . They were truly a match made from the stars with a little help from her mother and Cosmos of course. With so many strained family ties in this book it was nice to see how faith in your fellow man or woman can bring families back together. Good for you Melissa Foster I can't wait for the next Bayside couple.

My new favorite book by Melissa Foster

OHHH MY!! This story has touched me beyond words! I never shed tears while reading books, no matter how sad they may be. I'll laugh out loud, but for some reason, I never cry. Today, I could barely hold back my emotions while reading this book. It might be my new favorite book by Melissa Foster!
The characters both lost a parent, but in different ways and their lives have been defined by this loss. Rick and Desiree will not only get to know each other throughout the summer, but they'll each find ways to heal and move past their hurt. I absolutely LOVED the way Rick and Desiree meet, it was funny and sweet and so swoon worthy! The ending was pretty great too, proving how great of a guy Rick really is.
Like the Seaside series, Bayside is a community on the Cape with lots of friends and bonfires. I'm super excited for the next book, with Desiree's best friend, Emery!

Cosmos

Another fantastic series starter! Bayside Desires was an emotional story. I laughed, chuckled, smiled, definitely got frustrated along with Desiree, and cried along with Rick. I loved their combined stories. To find out how they connected you'll have to read Bayside Desires. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via Tasty Book Tours for an honest blog tour review. Due to sexual content this novel is recommended for readers 17 and older!

Bayside Desires

Really liked this book, starting the series. The characters are fun. While they are for the most part single, they are not college age or barely out of college. A nice change from too many books out there.
Desiree, kindergarten teacher, came to her childhood summer home at a desperate email from her mother. While she worked up the stamina to face her estranged parent, she watched three hot men racing about the bay on jet skis. One in particular who seemed just as interested in her sped forward to stop nearby drenching her in the process. The inauspicious meeting was the start of a very interesting and heated summer. (having nothing to do with the weather)
Rick couldn't take his eyes off of the woman. Instead of the usual guy who could get women to not only look at him but had no problem with pick up lines and pick-ups when interested, this woman made him fumble badly. In this case, just enough to capture her attention--eventually. He was working on a project with his brother and friend before returning to his successful business that no longer gave him the satisfaction it once had.
Not only did her mother send for her, but for her step sister who was just as absent from Desiree's life as her mother. The two women are anything but stable responsible people that Desiree has become. The two are a little on the kookie side and good for her. Her staid life is about to become unwound. The women, their summer "jobs", and the man who made such an impression are about to introduce her into a new world. She is about to have her conceptions about her family spun in a dizzy circle and gain some new friends.
Is this only going to be a summer romance? Can she go back to her old life after all the changes she makes? Will her family relationships go back to their former status?
This is a fun romance with plenty of steam. The characters introduced should make for a great series I can't wait to read.
